Times Of Israel: New research project aims to counter Jewish activist groups that hold minority views
A new initiative called the Jewish Majority aims to amplify the views of the majority of American Jews, countering activist groups with less popular positions on issues like anti-Zionism and support for Israel. Founded by Jonathan Schulman, the group released a survey indicating that 70% of American Jews consider anti-Zionism antisemitic.
The survey also found that a significant majority opposes protest tactics associated with anti-Israel activism. Critics have raised concerns about the survey's methodology, suggesting it may have oversampled religious Jews and lacked proper framing for questions. Nonetheless, the Jewish Majority seeks to provide a clearer representation of mainstream Jewish opinions.
